Can anyone tell me what flower is the orange one in the current series. As you might have guessed I am a bit challenged in the knowing my flower varieties. I keep looking at it and think is it a Lily or a Pansy?

It sews out beautifully I will post a picture in Projects.
Hope some gardeners can put me right. Thanks

It looks like an Eschscholzia californica to me. No idea what the common name is, only know the Dutch one, slaapmutsje, which translates as nightcap, referring to the green cap that comes off when the flower opens. Remember as a kid we wanted to remove those caps before they came off, much to my mum's disapproval. Moreover they close their petals at night.
The link gives a picture.
